'74: No - The Magnetic Fields

Is there a man in heaven looking out for you?

Is there a place dead loved ones go?

Is there a source of wisdom that will see you through?

Will there be peace in our time?

No

We knew Karmu, a faith healer—the black Christ, he said—

Laying his hands on high and low

Did he cure colds and cancer, and bring back the dead?

Did he refuse donations?

No

My friend Scott says there’s flying saucers

Hiding inside our hollow moon (Our hollow moon)

And then there’s Karl, card-carrying communist

Cause revolution’s coming «soon» (It's coming soon)

And Carolyn believes in fairies

And Gabrielle believes in ghosts

Yeshe believes in reincarnation (We'll meet again)

And David, in heavenly hosts (Heavenly hosts)

My mother believes that this physical universe

Is a big holographic show

And she says someday science’ll catch up with her

Has she a shred of evidence?

No
